I'd really appreciate it if you do that, Frodo. Karajan is one of my idols, and I never heard of such a thing.Frodo wrote:It's well-documented. I'll search for a respectable article and will post it for you. Just know that this was the plight of musicians back then--- you either stayed or you escaped. If you stayed you were under the thumb of whomever had the final say. It wasn't always pretty.FMiguelez wrote: With all due respect, may I ask how you know this?
Would you provide evidence for such a claim?
Similar things are said about Strauss too?
OMG. He is another of my all-time idols as well! I consider him an orchestration God.
I'd like to read about those accusations in CONTEXT and from reliable sources. Please post anything supporting those claims that you consider authoritative. I trust your judgement implicitly.
